My Facebook feed is exploding with new babies. Adorable, squishy, big-eyed baby pictures are popping up all over the place, and most of them belong to first time parents. One of the great things about social media is that I have easy access to an array of newborn cuteness, from friends across the globe. At…

Actress Alyssa Milano, whose breastfeeding selfie apparently received a ton of backlash, wondered why she took more heat than Kim Kardashian did for her naked Paper magazine photo shoot. She tweeted, "Wait! I don’t get it. No disrespect to Kim but… people are…

Sometimes it feels like moms who breastfeed in public can’t catch a break. Or, in the case of a Virginia mother, a few sips of beer. A woman identified as “Crystal” was thrown out of Big Woody’s Bar and Grill for drinking a beer while she nursed her baby. Crystal says she…

Breastfeeding moms held a "nurse-in" at Anthropologie after a woman shopping in a Los Angeles store was escorted by a manager to the bathroom to continue feeding her kid.

Given all the stories we hear about women getting flack for breastfeeding in public, it's so uplifting to hear about the experience of Julia Wykes, who was defended by a teenage Starbucks barista.

Many people were…

There's a lot to love about Emily Blunt, not the least of which is that I don't think she would mind me referring to her breasts as "enormous milk-filled tits" in the title of this post. She's a saucy Brit after all. Emily stopped by "Ellen" and showed off a first pic of her and…

Breastfeeding: it's one of those heated topics of motherhood where everyone has an opinion and they’re not afraid to share it. For me, nursing was just something that was a part of having a baby. I was breastfed, I grew up among women who breastfed, and it was assumed that I would a…

“Today, the choir will sing, but the most beautiful choir of all is the choir of the infants who will make a noise. Some will cry because they are not comfortable or because they are hungry.

Simply Irresistible

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see?
